Etihad Business Class, Up To 8 Seats
I'm back with more award space for February and March travel, but to somewhere a bit warmer this time!
Etihad has business class space for up to 8 people out of Toronto in the next couple of months. While it's only space across two months, there's a decent bit a of space on the outbound - more limited on the return.

Okay, it's not a 777 but a 787. I just like the photo.
